Beautiful, peaceful country guest house with pond
CHARMING COUNTRY RETREAT
Bright, inviting and filled with charm, this 1700 sq ft upper level duplex is a 3 bedroom, two bath guest house located on 10 acres in the country with a private entryway and drive. There is plenty of space, both indoors and outdoors, for relaxing and spending quality time with friends or family during your peaceful country retreat. The surrounding grounds include views of pasture land, farm animals, woods and a large pond. Guests are welcome to feed the pond fish and turtles, food is provided by the owners. (This is a NO FISHING pond.) This peaceful rental is an absolutely perfect place to get away from the fast-paced chaos of everyday city life and to slow down and enjoy the fresh air and peace and quiet of the country. Although located in the peaceful country, numerous restaurants, grocery stores, drug stores and other shopping are located within 6 to 10 miles. Property is located 20-25 minutes away from the Towns of Covington, Folsom, Mandeville and Abita Springs during non-rush hour, and is a one hour drive to New Orleans.
